Most kids won't eat a worm unless that worm is gummy. So we put them in this "rotten" punch to make it extra yummy.
Ingredients
- Apple cider (adjust the amount for the number of people you plan to serve; we suggest at least 1 gallon)
- Five 1/2-cup containers (we used Pyrex glass dishes; other small containers or cups will also work)
- Red and green food coloring
- 10 to 15 gummy worms
- Punch bowl
Instructions
- Pour apple cider into all 5 small dishes, stopping about 1/2 inch from the top. Add 2 drops of red and 1 drop of green food coloring to each dish and stir until the colors have blended.
- Hang 2 or 3 gummy worms around the edge of each dish and place the dishes in the freezer. If you use more than 3 worms, the rotten apples won't float as well. Freeze until the rotten apples are solid.
- Just before serving, slip the frozen wormy apples out of the dishes by setting them briefly in a few inches of warm water in your sink.
- Float the rotten apples in a large punch bowl filled with untinted cider. For added creepiness, drape the gummy worms over the edges of your serving bowl.
